Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Francs coin from Djibouti is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Djiboutian woman wearing a colorful headscarf and a necklace, while the reverse side features a camel, which is a symbol of the country's nomadic traditions and its importance in the local economy. The coin's design was created by the French engraver, Pierre Rodier, and it has remained unchanged since the coin was first introduced in 1977.
